The Niacinamide Products I recommend most

The niacinamide products I recommend almost every day

Niacinamide is an antioxidant ingredient - one of my Core 4 skincare steps. It is without a doubt the best antioxidant for sensitive or problem skin, which is why I find myself recommending it almost every day at Dr. Laura Clinic.

Skinceuticals Metacell Renewal Niacinamide Serum

METACELL RENEWAL B3 | SKINGREDIENTS

Good skin in a bottle

Very few patients leave my clinic without me recommending this to them. It's a daily corrective moisturiser-serum hybrid that visibly improves texture, evens skin tone and works quietly on fine lines and wrinkles.

La Roche Posay Mela B3 Serum niacinamide

Mela B3 Serum | La Roche Posay

No, it's not just for dark spots

I really think La Roche Posay are pigeon-holing this product by marketing it as a dark spot corrector. Yes, it absolutely will work for pigmentation but it will also do all of the other wonderful things that niacinamide does! I love this for teens, especially teens dealing with acne.

Obagi Daily Hydro-Drops hydrating facial serum

Daily Hydro Drops | Obagi

Ultimate luxury in a bottle.

Niacinamide is not just for "problem skin", some people just prefer it to Vitamin C. If you're someone who wants their skincare to be an experience, this serum is for you. If you lean a little dry and your AM routine is in need an extra boost - try hydro drops for glow, bounce and barrier repair in one step.

why i love niacinamide

Niacinamide, which you might see as Vitamin B3 in an ingredient list, is an antioxidant. It works across skin types because it strengthens the skin barrier, regulates oil, improves uneven tone and supports overall resilience.

Everyone needs an antioxidant in their skincare routine, generally either Vitamin C or Niacinamide. If you deal with breakouts, irritation, redness or sensitivity, niacinamide is the antioxidant for you.

It belongs in your AM routine, and you only need ONE niacinamide product in your routine. If you already use Vitamin C, you don't need niacinamide.

Let's look at some of my favourites!

DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THIS POWERHOUSE

While Vitamin C is often regarded as "the gold standard" in antioxidant skincare, niacinamide is the unsung hero of skin health. If you don't have an antioxidant in your skincare routine, you need one. You may not see life-changing results any time soon, but future you will look and feel so much better for it!

BONUS TIP IF YOU MADE IT TO THE END

Always follow your antioxidant with SPF for total protection from UV rays and other environmental factors that will age the skin.
